Hello, and welcome once again to the weekly goings on of the mighty Cleobury Mortimer Golf Club.

Somehow we are almost half way through May! It is great to see so many golfers at the club with the car park nice and busy everyday (pictured below). The greenkeepers played a blinder this week getting the light dressing on the greens Monday before some rain on Tuesday and Wednesday to wash it in. The dressing is added due to the uneven growth patterns that happens this time of year, some days it is hot, wet, cold etc causing the grass to grow at different speeds. Adding the dressing gives the green a smooth surface all the time.

As normal we have plenty to report this week, sit back and enjoy the read… Anyone looking to play this week please call us on 01299 271112 to book tee times.

Adam Millichip Foundation Review

What a day it was for the annual Adam Millichip Foundation golf day, 53 teams supported the event with the first tee at 7am and the last at 2.45pm. The foundation was founded by CMGC members: Stuart Millichip, Mark Benbow and Mark Fish in Stuart's brother's memory. The key focus of the foundation is to offer support for disabled children looking to get into sport. As mentioned last week this is becoming one of the biggest charity days in the West Midlands with Fridays being the 7th year.

Although it is too early to estimate the total money raised on the day for the foundation it is hopeful the figure is well into the thousands.

Please if you have 5 minutes click here to watch a video from the golf day… inspiring stuff!

Drive Guard Results

Glorious sunshine greeted the golfers of Cleobury Mortimer for the Drive Guard Stableford. The practice facilities were the place to be in the morning with many doing their routines looking for handicap cuts and to qualify for the Midland Qualifier.

The inform Ash Cook once again showed his single figure aspirations are not far off with a huge 41 points to see his handicap cut to 10.1. Youngster Tom Judge was one point behind Ash on 40 points. However despite a headlock on the last hole Tom could not stop his Dad Paul Judge shooting 44 points to take the competition overall.

As the winner of this competition Paul will now represent the club in the Midlands Qualifier. If he finishes in the top 3 at this event he qualifies for the Challenge Tour Pro-Am. Best of luck Paul.

Professional Amy had this to say on the winners.

"Many congratulations to Paul, Ash and Tom on some outstanding scores from Sunday, all three players have their goals for the season and some heavy handicap cuts will have been made.

Paul has bags of potential and has been working hard on his game for a number of weeks now. This is already his second win of the season and I expect to see his name at the top of the leaderbaord again very soon."

Message from Dave

"A quick review of the competition offers some really interesting results from my point of view. The three lowest gross scores of the day Ash Cook, Josh Rowbotham and Jack Severn are all lesson clients. However more significantly the top SIX competition handicap players in the nett scores are all lesson clients of mine. Paul Judge, Ash Cook, Tom Judge, Josh Rowbotham, Adam Cook and Jack Severn."

It just goes to show the potential results lessons with myself can yield. Contact me on 07876445035 to discuss in more details.
